The Lady Mustangs volleyball team secured second place in districts with a dominant three set victory over Calvary Christian (25-16, 25-7, 25-11). This marked the 7^th consecutive win bringing their season record to 21 wins as they gear up for the postseason.  Game one saw strong play as Setter, Aubrey Rebholz started out with a Service Ace  and then kills from Killer Kate Neltner and Callie Ritter getting a kill and an Ace and the game was 4-2 in favor of the Lady Stangs.  Killer Kate would get another team leading kills to make the score 8-7 and a dominant kill by Ritter would move the mark to 12-6.  More offensive plays by Killer Kate, Ritter, and a Chloe Hershey Kiss would get our girls a comfortable 17-9 lead.  The Mustangs would get a 10 point lead off another kill by Neltner and a service ace from Rehbholz to get the score to 20-10.  Killer Kate got a kill a  contribution from Senior, Addison  Doughman got a kill before two Calvary unforced errors got the Lady Mustangs the win at 25-16.

The defense all night led by Sophomore Josie Reckner, Freshman Libero Grace Frommeyer, Seniors, Abby Shelton and Gia Infante kept the floor defense in position as Calvary had very few kills on the night and looked frustrated by the girls digs.  Aubrey Rebholz had an unofficial 34 assists on the night as she was providing great sets for the team to pound.

The L’Stangs dominated game two, jumping to a 5-1 lead off a kills by Killer Kate Neltner, a block by Ritter and an Service line ace from Hershey.  Another block by Ritter and then back to back service aces by Ritter and the Lady Stangs were up 9-2. Two kills by Sophomore, Leah Robinson, and a kill by Rebholz and the score was 13-4.  The Lady Stangs would continue their offensive authority by getting a block by Ritter then two Hershey kiss, then 4 straight kills by Ritter and the score was 21-5.  Killer Kate Neltner would end the game as she got three kills in a row to get the game to 25-7.

Game three the Lady Mustangs again poured it on as they jumped to a 5-3 lead of kills by Junior, Madison Dozier, two kills by Killer Kate Neltner, and a Hershey Kiss. Frommeyer would get two service line aces in a row to stretch the lead to 10-6.  The lead would only grow from there as Killer Kate, Ritter, getting two kills and another Hershey kiss and the score was 17-7.  Dozier made a fantastic block followed by two Killer Kate kills and the score was 21-10.  Robinson would put the icing on the cake as she secured two more kills and then two unforced errors by Calvary and the 21^st win was in the books for the Lady Stangs.
